    Nope. $4/gal usd works out to about $1.06/liter usd. Convert that to Canadian and its $1.32/liter, exactly what the diesel price was at the pump on Friday.

    Let's see... someone stopped the keystone pipeline AND oil/gas drilling leases. Has begged Saudi oil, OPEC AND Russia to increase oil production. To sell to us. Wonder who's to blame for the rise of fuel. LOL

    Trade you our Mental Defective for your Mad King. They’re both cost prohibitive but yours is less embarrassing. Now that I’ve said that I think I’ll go be sick.

    If you filter out all the "um" and "ah" out of Trudeau's speeches he at least kind of makes sense.

    In the 70's. But it was cheaper yet when we transported equipment.
